How To Prevent Error 740 Messages
If you tried to use RunAs.exe to elevate a program to running under another user account, you may ran into an error message like “740: The requested operation requires elevation”. That was because you can not use RunAs.exe to elevate a program with none built-in administrator account.
I found a workaround to resolve this problem.
Try RunAs /user:YourDomain\UserAccount “CMD /C start /B program.exe”
It should run the program under the domain or local account you specified without any error.
